You can find these in the Resource Section of the Main part of this web site. Be certain when you meet your new doctors to point out this was first discovered in April. You don't want them 'dragging their heels' on a treatment plan. Take someone with you to all the appts because it is hard to digest all this when it is so scary and new. Keeps us posted.
Take care, Eileen
